Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows web browsers to securely interact with Trezor hardware wallets. It acts as a safe connection layer between your device and supported web applications.
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight software component developed by Trezor to enable secure communication between a Trezor hardware wallet and a web browser. It replaces older browser extensions and provides a more stable and secure connection method.
With Trezor Bridge installed, supported web wallets and services can detect your Trezor device and request actions such as login verification or transaction signing.
Trezor Bridge runs in the background on your computer and listens for requests from supported browsers. When a website needs to communicate with your Trezor device, the request is routed through Trezor Bridge.
Trezor Bridge can be installed from the official Trezor website. The installation process is quick and works on major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs automatically in the background whenever your system starts, ensuring seamless device detection.
While Trezor Suite Desktop does not require Trezor Bridge, the web version of Trezor Suite and other browser-based services rely on it for device communication.
Trezor Bridge ensures a secure and reliable connection without exposing sensitive data to the browser.
Trezor Bridge does not store private keys or sensitive information. All cryptographic operations are performed inside the Trezor hardware wallet.
Older browser extensions posed security and compatibility risks. Trezor Bridge replaces them with a dedicated communication layer that is more secure and easier to maintain.
This approach reduces attack surfaces and improves reliability across browsers.
If your browser does not detect your Trezor device, ensure Trezor Bridge is installed and running. Restarting the browser or reconnecting the device often resolves connection issues.
Keeping Trezor Bridge updated ensures compatibility with the latest browsers and security improvements.
Trezor Bridge is essential for users who access their Trezor wallet through web-based interfaces or third-party services. It is recommended for anyone who wants secure browser interaction with their hardware wallet.
Trezor Bridge plays a vital role in secure hardware wallet usage by enabling safe communication between browsers and Trezor devices. Its simple design, strong security model, and reliability make it an essential component of the Trezor ecosystem.
For secure web-based wallet access and peace of mind, Trezor Bridge is a trusted and proven solution.
